This is great stuff, Gus, thanks. On the FC version, I typed 3, meant 5.
Keyboard error (the keyboard made a mistake in selecting me as a typist --

It appears the module you actually want is called prism54.ko The names
for modules were changed in the 2.6 kernel line to end in .ko instead of
.o.
I have prism54 already on the box according to locate. The orinoco
surprised me, but I didn't want to rush to change it as the install
selected it. I'll try changing it now as directed below. I suspected the
module/driver was the problem.

Without knowing the make and model of your wireless card and the output
of lspci, I can't tell you which is the correct module for the wireless
card. Why are you making it hard to help you?
There are several modules for Prism chipsets depending on which variant
you have. The original orinoco driver was for PCMCIA (laptop) wireless
cards which have a Prism 2 chipset. After awhile, some manufactures
adapted the PCMCIA card onto a PCI card that fit in a desktop
motherboard. Some of those cards also use the orinoco driver. However, a
follow on variant stripped off the PCMCIA stuff and went with a straight
PCI bus connection. The chipset is a Prism 2.5/3 and uses the
orinoco-pci module. Then there are the later versions which use the
prism54 module.
Thus, without knowing the actual information about your card, I can't
help you.
